Rosh Chodesh
What is the significance of Rosh Chodesh? It seems, on the surface, like a meaningless "Moed". It is known as a "Zman Kapara" and the "Seirei Rosh Chodesh" are sacrificed on Rosh Chodesh, granted. However, that itself seems like an arbitrary choice. Any day could have been chosen as a "Zman Kapara. What is inherently significant about Rosh Chodesh that it is considered a day of forgiveness. Every other Moed has a logical reason for being on that specific day or date. What is Rosh Chodesh all about?
In Toras Hanigleh one will be hard-pressed to find the answer. Al pi Kaballah it is very clear. The world is being nourished by "Malchus De'Atzilus" When the world is behaving as it should it aligns itself and helps align "Malchus De'Atzilus" with the "Zeir Anpin" in the world of Atzilus which thereby creates a shefa coming back to the world from the world of Atzilus to us helping to reconstruct the world and bring it to perfect state. The more aligned "Malchus De"Atzilus is with "Zeir Anpin" the better the world is and vice versa. The Sefirah of Malchus is "Les Migarmei klum" it is a total vassal, it is the ultimate "Nukva" or "Mekabel". Malchus is nourished by others, It receives and then passes along what it has received but cannot initiate. The moon is the perfect reflection of "Malchus", it is a receiver, a reflector. It retains the light that it receives from the sun and passes it along. "Malchus De'Atzilus" is what changes to create a better world as it aligns itself with "Zeir Anpin" As it reflects the world above it more the more it is aligned and better it is for the worlds below. Kneses Yisrael is conduit for change in the world and as Kneses Yisrael perfects itself so is the world perfected. The moon represents Yisrael in the sense that it is forever waxing and waning and thereby reflecting more or less shefa to the world based on its alignment with the ultimate "Ohr of Ein Sof".
Rosh Chodesh is a day where there is seemingly no moon. It is a day where the connection to the "Mekor" is much more direct. A mini Yom Kippur. A day where "Baruch Shem" can be proclaimed out loud. A day of Teshuva where there is no Mechitza. Rosh Chodesh represents
